Phoebe Nir Wellness

Introduction: I discovered my love of yoga and meditation at Brown University, where daily practice helped me to cope with anxiety and get more in touch with my body. While at Brown, I got the chance to be involved with their cutting-edge (and Dalai Lama approved!) Contemplative Studies Department, which combines the latest advances in neuroscience research with ancient meditation techniques to achieve deep understanding of the ways in which yoga and meditation affect our minds and bodies. I have been a Certified Yoga Alliance yoga instructor for over five years, specializing in Hatha, Vinyasa, and Restorative, and am also certified in Pre-Natal through Chandrakala yoga. I am currently studying with the legendary Richard Miller, whose pioneering methods in teaching iRest Yoga Nidra for trauma and PTSD have been adopted by the US Army. My practice focuses on easefulness and self-compassion, and can be a great antidote for the competitive and stressful environment of New York City. I love to inject humor, intellectual curiosity, and fun into all of my classes! I am supportive and completely non-judgmental! I love to be a cheerleader for anybody who is new to the practice or thinks that they aren't [flexible, strong, 'yogic', skinny, coordinated, spiritual, chill, whatever] enough for yoga. I also have experience working with clients who struggle with food, exercise, and body image issues. It's truly a privilege to share these practices, and I look forward to helping you along on your Path! I love to watch people outgrow their limitations. You are so much more powerful than you think!! :)
